Abstract

Objective: To determine the association between tooth loss and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among young men from southern Brazil.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of 518 young men aged 18-19 years enlisted for mandatory military service in the Brazilian Army in two cities of southern Brazil in 2019-2021. Participants were clinically examined regarding gingivitis, dental caries experience (caries lesions, missing and filled surfaces), and malocclusion. A questionnaire collected socioeconomic information and the Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14). The outcome was OHRQoL, modeled as a discrete variable. The main explanatory variable was tooth loss due to caries (0 or ≥1). Negative binomial regression analysis was used; rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated.

Results: Tooth loss prevalence was 22.2%. Associations were detected between tooth loss and OHRQoL in the physical pain and handicap domains. Individuals with at least one missing tooth had 17% higher OHIP-14 scores in the physical pain domain (adjusted RR=1.17; 95%CI=1.01, 1.35) and 49% higher in the handicap domain (adjusted RR=1.49; 95%CI=1.03, 2.15) than those with no tooth loss.

Conclusions: Tooth loss was negatively associated with OHRQoL among 18-19-year-old Brazilian Army conscripts, and this association was related to physical pain and handicap domains.

牙齿脱落与年轻男性口腔健康相关的生活质量有关吗？巴西南部的调查结果。

目的确定巴西南部年轻男性牙齿脱落与口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）之间的关联：横断面研究：对巴西南部两个城市 518 名 18-19 岁应征入伍服义务兵役的年轻人进行研究。参与者接受了有关牙龈炎、龋齿经历（龋坏、缺失和填充面）和咬合不正的临床检查。调查问卷收集了社会经济信息和口腔健康影响档案 14（OHIP-14）。结果为 OHRQoL，建模为离散变量。主要解释变量是龋齿导致的牙齿缺失（0 或≥1）。采用负二项回归分析；估计了比率比（RR）和 95% 置信区间（CI）：结果：缺牙率为 22.2%。在身体疼痛和障碍领域，发现牙齿缺失与 OHRQoL 之间存在关联。与没有牙齿缺失的人相比，至少有一颗牙齿缺失的人在身体疼痛领域的OHIP-14评分高出17%（调整后RR=1.17；95%CI=1.01，1.35），在障碍领域的评分高出49%（调整后RR=1.49；95%CI=1.03，2.15）：在 18-19 岁的巴西应征入伍者中，牙齿缺失与 OHRQoL 呈负相关，这种关联与身体疼痛和障碍领域有关。

期刊介绍： The journal is concerned with dental public health and related subjects. Dental public health is the science and the art of preventing oral disease, promoting oral health, and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society. The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as: -oral epidemiology- oral health services research- preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities- oral health education and promotion- clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups- behavioural sciences related to dentistry- decision theory- quality of life- risk analysis- ethics and oral health economics- quality assessment. The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
